California Zephyr® Route Guide Journey ® CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR® ROUTE GUIDE JOURNEY THE CHICAGO • DENVER • SALT LAKE CITY • SAN FRANCISCO We hope you enjoy reading this guide and learning about points of interest along our route. It is written starting from the eastern terminus of the train in Chicago and proceeds to points west, ending in San Francisco. If you boarded in San ENJOY Francisco, just read the guide in reverse, remembering to look in the opposite direction referenced. AMTRAK® STATIONS are shown in all capital letters, as opposed to upper and lower case for towns and geographical areas through which the train travels but does not stop. The Amtrak® System Timetable or the California Zephyr® timetable folder should be consulted for actual station times. While all service presented in this guide was accurate at the time of publication, routes and services are subject to change. Please contact Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL, visit Amtrak.com, or call your travel agent for the most current information. Between Chicago and the great cities of the west lie narrow canyons, towering peaks and breathtakingly beautiful mountain wilderness areas as you cross two great mountain ranges, the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas. Traveling across this great swath of American West was a challenging journey until 1869 when the first transcontinental railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, Utah. Then, thousands of pioneers were able to easily go west in search of their fortunes, many to San Francisco after the discovery of gold nearby. Modern-day travelers know that same trip as one of the most beautiful train journeys in North America – and the most comfortable way to travel between these two great cities. Blowing away the alternatives is what Zephyrus, ancient Greek god of the west wind, and his namesake, the California Zephyr, do best. So sit back and be “blown away” by the otherwise unattainable views of the spectacular scenery and changing vistas along the route. [Amtrak’s California Zephyr carries the same name as the original “most talked about train in America” that went into service on March 20, 1949, between Chicago and Oakland over much of the same route as the train you are riding today. The original California Zephyr, operated jointly by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and Western Pacific Railroad, featured five “vista dome” cars and four sleeping cars. Today, Amtrak uses modern Superliner double-decker cars that give nearly everybody on the train a bird’s-eye view of the spectacular scenery on the route.] WELCOME ABOARD The California Zephyr takes you from the Midwest’s Windy City across the American heartland through Denver, over the front range of the Rockies, through the Continental Divide, Glenwood Canyon, the Utah Desert and the High Sierras to the City by the Bay. On board, you will experience the comfort and relaxation of train travel while witnessing some of the very best American cultural and geographic icons. We are happy to have you aboard today and want to ensure your trip is everything you want it to be. If there is anything that can be done to make your trip more enjoyable, please do not hesitate to ask any Amtrak employee.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation.

  • PCA) Report Name Colorado River Site Code S.USCOHP*15679
    Level 4 Potential Conservation Area (PCA) Report Name Colorado River Site Code S.USCOHP*15679 IDENTIFIERS Site ID 1328 Site Class PCA Site Alias Colorado River Megasite Network of Conservation Areas (NCA) NCA Site ID NCA Site Code NCA Site Name - No Data County Garfield (CO) Grand (UT) Mesa (CO) SITE DESCRIPTION Site Description This site includes the stretch of the Colorado River that extends from Rifle to the Utah border. The Colorado River riparian corridor is the most heavily developed area in Mesa County. The floodplains near the river were historically dominated by stands of Rio Grande cottonwood (Populus deltoides ssp. wislizeni) with an understory of skunkbrush (Rhus trilobata). However, development of the floodplain, agriculture, and most notably, the invasion of non-native species such as tamarisk ( Tamarix ramosissima), Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia), and Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens) have greatly reduced the amount of native riparian vegetation within this site. Extensive gravel mining operations in the river floodplain up and downstream of the City of Rifle has included the removal of cottonwood gallery forests and commensurate riparian and stream values that these forests provide. Along the immediate banks of the river and around wetlands in the floodplain, coyote willow (Salix exigua), cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), reedcanary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), common reed (Phragmites australis), cattail (Typha latifolia), hardstem bulrush (Schoenoplectus acutus), threesquare bulrush (S. pungens), alkali bulrush (S. maritimus), and redroot flatsedge (Cyperus erythrorhizos) are typically dominant. This site provides critically important habitat for endangered fish such as the razorback sucker ( Xyrauchen texanus), Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius), and humpback chub (Gila cypha).
